Home Remedy: Doing It Right
Evett Bknnett
Darlene Drury has the power (tools) to
provide a Home Remedy
Quality service at a reasonable price is
the motto for Darlene Drury, owner of
Home Remedy, a home repair and main
tenance business. Her eight years of expe
rience have added up to just that—quality.
"If its worth doing, its worth doing right,"
says Darlene.
Darlene's professional services began
in 1979 after wiring, plumbing and refin
ishing the interior of a 150 year old farm
house. Constant requests for her services
followed quickly. "I bought a truck,
invested in some more tools, and put
myself out to hire," she said.
Darlene believes in renovation rather
than demolition. She is known best for
painting, wallpapering, dry-wall, glass
repair, and light carpentry. Her carpentry
skills include laying tile, floor refinishing
and trim work. One of her most recent
accomplishments is the interior painting
of the Gallus Restaurant.
If you need home repairs or mainte
nance, Darlene can handle the job. Call
her at 288-6102.
Traxx Manager, David Hampton is
ready for the National Black Gay and
Lesbian Conference goers, "We can
accommodate all of them. We're a big
nightclub and we have everything they're
looking for in the way of fun.".
The way of fun at the 16,000 square
foot, multi-level warehouse club is simple:
strong beat, high energy dance (house)
music with lots of room to move—even
on top of the speakers where mini-stages
are set for those who like to show-off.
The decor, intentionally sparse with
white lacquer accents, suggests a northern
party set where the warehouse feel is the
vogue. Hampton says, "We lead the way
in the Atlanta minority club circuit and
we're open to all facets of the community
... we want to widen the spectrum—men,
women, black, white, whatever. Atlanta
needs a huge place that is fun for birthday
parties, fashion shows or even revues."
Traxx welcomes the the Atlanta lesbian
and gay community along with the
National Black Gay and Lesbian
Conference goers to a special show
Friday, February 16 featuring Danitra
Vance.
See you there!
David Hampton, manager of Traxx -
leader in the Atlanta
minority club circuit.

Traxx: The Way to Fun
NOW Seeks Lesbian Workshop
Proposals for National Conference
The National Organization for Women is
seeking workshop proposals from the lesbian
community for presentation at its 1990
National Conference in San Francisco. The
Conference, scheduled for June 29-July 1,
will include major speakers, workshops,
entertainment and the election of national
officers. NOW activists from around the
country will gather to share ideas and skills
and to set policy for the organization.
Workshops are a major portion of the
program and cover a wide range of issues
from child care to running political cam
paigns. Each year a number of workshops
focus on lesbian rights. This year NOW is
calling for proposals for workshop presenta
tions dealing with lesbian rights issues.
Although proposals on all subjects are wel
come, NOW is particularly interested in four
major themes: How the AIDS crisis has
impacted progress on other lesbian rights
issues; how to integrate lesbian rights into the
consciousness of abortion rights activists;
legal strategies to further the right of privacy;
and issues of importance to lesbians of color.
Deadline for submission of proposals is
March 1, 1990. For a proposal form, please
contact the National NOW Office; 1000 16th
St., NW, Suite 700; Washington, DC 20036;
Attn: Nancy Buermeyer, Lesbian Rights
Program Director, or call (202) 331-0066.
